I always got freaked out by the Twilight Zone so my mother would never let me watch. Of course I got freaked out by the Batman show, so maybe I was just an easily freaked little child.

As for those suits you have to be kidding me. But I know people who would buy them due to religious concerns and still may be concerned they aren't modest enough. I wouldn't, I personally think there is nothing wrong with a one piece bathing suit and they are easily found.

Ewww. the heat today just killed me. I can't stand it this hot and of course my ac is acting up.

You know how people tend to get depressed in the winter months? Well I get horribly depressed in the summertime. I cannot stand to be even a little hot which makes it miserable for my family with the fact that I keep it like an ice box in my house. So this type of heat is just bringing me way down.

Doing laundry here this morning..do any of you ever put fabric softener in the wash cycle of your load? Just wondered..sometimes when it's added to the rinse cycle, clothes are too soft.

I put it in one of those automatic dispenser balls when I start the wash and then it automatically dispenses the fabric softener ... I'm not sure when it does but it seems to do it at the right time! (Mine's a Downey dispenser that I bought for like $1.50.)

I always used to put my softener in the dispenser. Hubby hated softener in his clothes, so he does his own laundry. Been this way our whole marriage-almost 22 years.

We just had to purchase a new warsher (my gramma said it the same way Marley ), and it will be delivered on Wednesday. We went with one of those new front loading High Efficiency models. I am skeptical, but hubby was sucked into the sales pitch. It wa quite costly, so it better do everything but iron those clothes for what we paid. Do any of you folks have one of those and how do you like it?

Back when we still used the dryer (we hang everything all year round now), Mr. Rattus used to make reuseable dryer sheets by pouring a little fabric softener on a piece of towel and letting it dry. You use it like a regular dryer sheet and it doesn't make the clothes feel all greasy like fabric softener in the wash does. As mentioned, we've stopped using this since we started hanging our clothes and honestly, I prefer the crisp feel of clothes and sheets that have dried in the sun (even if they dried in the basement in the winter).
